Stephen Meeks believes in a noble version of manhood–a soul-level version that’s been slowly slipping away for a long time. His heart is to restore true manhood by bring clarity and direction, along with practical help and encouragement, to men and boys living in this period of confusion, discouragement, and even disgust surrounding manhood.

As a licensed counselor, he has gone into the trenches with men working their way through wounded pasts, flawed messages, and personal failings, and led them to a place of clarity, strengthened confidence, restored hope, and helped them catch a higher view of what it truly means to be a man in all his noble roles as son, husband, and father. The founder of GoodSoil Ministries, and the author of several books including Save the Boys! and Manabouts Field Guide He and his bride, Donna, have 5 adult children and 12 grandchildren. They live in rural Appalachia on a small farm in a log house where he counsels, writes, and dreams of an epic fishing expedition in Alaska….with his sons and grandsons.
